Food Fridays: Chocolate Chunk Banana Bread Cookies

If the title of this post didn’t make your mouth salivate, then I’m sure the delicious ingredients will do the trick. I decided to write about this recipe that I came across online for a couple reasons: 1) you can use it as a dessert for a home-cooked dinner, 2) I’m sure you’ll be stuffing your face with these at some point in the night, and 3) how could I read over the name of the recipe and not want to tell you all about it?

Now that I’ve convinced you as to why you should invest a part of your Friday night to baking these cookies, let’s get cracking on the recipe.

Step 2: Stir flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt all together in a bowl.

Step 3: In a different bowl, add butter and make sure you get it to the point where it is light and fluffy. Begin to add the brown sugar little by little and continue to mix together for 2 minutes. Finally, add the banana, eggs, and vanilla and mix all together.

Step 4: Add the previous mixture from the first bowl to the new bowl.

Step 5: Stir oats, nuts (optional) and chocolate chunks! YUM

You’re now ready to start portioning the mix onto a baking sheet–you can line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
